    I have hired Neena 3 times and loved her energy and work every time. She is easy to communicate with and she takes care to understand exactly what kind of designs you would like. She did my bridal henna and applied henna on family and friends for a little pre-wedding party. All of our guests loved

    16 hours post-henna.

    Neena came to my 9 year old daughter's last day of school swim party to add something extra special for the six third graders we hosted. What an absolute joy it was to have Neena join the party. She engaged with the girls better than most teachers, did absolutely beautiful henna art, had amazing energy, and used high quality henna that left beautiful, dark designs on me and the kids. No need to look any further if you're considering hiring a henna artist. If Neena has availability for you, book the time asap. You will be delighted with the results. Best addition to a party ever!

    Incredible henna artist! We brought her over to my sisters henna party and she was so good we had to keep her an extra hour because everyone wanted a piece of her work! Thank you so much neena :) 10/10

    Neena is Fabulous! Had a party with 14 girlfriends and surprised them with Henna Tattoos-everyone LOVED them! She is professional, personable & customizes each design so everyone had their favorite. Arms, ankles, back, and legs...all gorgeous artistry. My girlfriends are still complimenting me on Neena's beautiful designs. She works quickly and effortlessly. Would definitely do it again. Neena was easy to work with, on time, and answered questions before, during & after. She is wonderfully talented-5 Stars!

    Henna stain by Neena

    Neena did henna at the henna party of 100 women, my moms hair and make up for one of the events, and make up for my mom, aunts, cousins on the wedding day. Neena makes her own mehndi so it takes the natural 24-48 hours to mature and chemical free! Everyone put the henna on Thursday and it was super dark on Saturday for the wedding! Everyone absolutely loved my mom's hair and makeup and asked who did it. I appreciate that she made my mom looked like herself. My mom, aunts, and cousins have a variety of skin tone and maturity and she made each and everyone one of their makeup a perfection. My mom keeps saying Neena is my go to hair and makeup for all the weddings and events to come and I couldn't agree more. She will listen to all the likes and dislikes of the make up look and incorporate the look you desire. My mom has never gotten her make up done before and was very hesitant and Neena made her feel so beautiful in the glam to the point where now my mom wants to get her hair and make up done with Neena for future events! You will not regret having her for your henna event or hair and makeup! She's absolutely the best!

    I had Neena try a couple to designs on my cousin and I just to see what we wanted and she was such a big help, she comes with lots of ideas and experience! She has an eye for craft but is always open to your suggestions. She'll be able to answer all your questions too. Well organized and punctual. Easy and comfortable to work with, which was important to me, one less stress to worry about. Thanks Neena!

    Neena did my Baby Shower Hena and it was the best ever. Got so many complements. It was neat, perfect and so beautiful. She did for all my guests too and they loved it. She is highly responsive, attentive and wants to give you the absolute best. I highly recommend her for any event.

    My friends and I threw a baby shower over the weekend and hired Designs by Neena to do henna tattoos on all the attendees and Neena did not disappoint! She was very accommodating and easy to book. Her hennas were the star of the event. Not only is she extremely talented (designing freestyle on the spot) but she has the kindest, personable demeanor and it felt like she was a guest at the party! She is so engaging while she works and keeps you entertained WHILE designing amazing body art. Can't wait to use her for many more events to come.

    I booked Neena for Diwali event at work. She was excellent with communication and arrived right on time. Her work was appreciated by everyone who came to the event. Her henna mix is organic and smells amazing. It was a great pleasure working with her and I am definitely going to book her in future events. Highly recommended

    Neena is a sweetheart. She is super talented in mehndi, hair and for sure makeup. She asked me how I wanted the makeup to be: dramatic or settle. Then she suggested in between. I absolutely loved the final look and was on cloud 9 with so many compliments. The best part of the hair-do was that in the evening she fixed them in few mins and the hair looked so fresh and clean. Mehndi: one of the best designs and I still have my dark stain. Thank you Neena. Check her out for your next San Diego bridal party.

    I reached out to Neena to do my hair and make-up for two Egyptian Dance performances at Sufi Mediterranean Restaurant and December Nights in Balboa Park! She was timely, extremely talented, very knowledgeable, and incredibly sweet and patient! As someone who isn't very well-versed in hair and make-up, I felt completely comfortable asking her questions and appreciated her step by step explanations throughout our session. My fellow dancers and teacher complimented my look and wanted to know my secret! All the credit goes to Miss Neena! Thank you so much for making me look and feel beautiful! Book Neena and I guarantee you will not be disappointed!

    This was our henna the day after the session, Neena also gave us care tips and the designs got even darker 32 hours after the session

    Neena did a henna session for my daughter and I and we had so much fun! We loved Neena's style and her hospitality. She had a great response rate when i messaged her and was accommodating to what customizations we wanted. I'm so glad she was able to do smaller parties of 2. Thank you Neena!!

    Neena is a super talented and incredible artist. She was super accommodating, responsive, kind, and friendly. My best friend and I loved our henna tattoos. And the glitter touch made the whole experience fun. Love that she walked us through the process, and we able to reach out with any questions we had. I'm very thankful to have found her and will be reaching out for any henna tattoos in the future. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

I got it done a day before going to a sound healing and even wore it during Thanksgiving and I have been getting nonstop compliments on the beautiful henna that Daniela created. Thank you so much. Side note because I have more Melanin (deep brown skin) I did some side research on how to make sure the henna looks a deeper shade of brown and last longer on me and I came across a lot of YouTube advice. I am not a doctor and Daniela didn't advise me to do this so do it only if you want to. But it worked for me. I let regular wind air dry my henna for 3 hours. When I got home i warmed up my arm in the henna area near my little bedroom personal heater at a very comfortable warm temp nothing extreme at all for 3 minutes at a time took a break and did another 3 minutes until the henna was pretty much dry 95%. I'm sure I could have used a hair dryer to speed up the process. Then I wrapped the whole henna creation gently with toilet paper and then over that wrapped the area with plastic wrap and feel asleep with it on overnight. Then over a huge cookie sheet lined with wax paper in the turned off shower I unwrapped everything and let some pieces of henna fall onto the the lined cookie sheet. And for the pieces still stuck I applied a little coconut oil to the remaining henna and gently removed the rest henna with the dull backside of a butter knife. Then I used more coconut oil a few napkins to take off any left over brown oily henna residue. Aka I used no water on the henna tattoo to avoid diluting it. And every I took a shower I used soap every where but the henna tat area. And only used coconut oil and Luke warm water in the tat area. Hope this helps if you did decide to do it.

We had the henna party last weekend and it was for my birthday and we had a BLAST! There was about 10 of us and she was here for 2 hours and all of our designs were hand drawn and inspired by what our ideas were and by her own creation. Can't wait to get another one done! All natural products too, sugar water to set. And she also has glitter to make you sparkle while your design stains. So fun!

I think when you're getting…read moremarried its not just design that's important - although yes that is very important and I LOVED the henna Sonie did for me -- whats equally important is how the artist makes you feel, especially during such an important occasion as your wedding. Let me break it down: 1. Design - Sonie discussed with me beforehand what I wanted in my design and let me be as specific or open-minded as I wanted to be. Once she had an idea of my vision, she shared numerous designs and styles to really get a sense of what I was looking for. On my henna day, she continuously asked me if I liked where the design was going and if I wanted to give any further input. 2. Supplies - Sonie blew me away with how prepared she was to get going on the lengthy design - keep in mind wedding henna takes HOURS. She had brought all kinds of things with her just in case I wanted to use them and really made it convenient. 3. Patience - I started my henna later than I expected so Sonie was still working on me through the night as my guests arrived and the party got started. Although I dont recommend this to anyone, and I really think you should get your design done before your guests arrive to avoid distractions, Sonie remained patient with me and my need for breaks. She was understanding and flexible. 4. Comfort - as I mentioned at the beginning, what is as equally important as the artist's skill, is how they make you feel - and Sonie made me feel SO comfortable! She has an open, welcoming spirit. A great warmth that you want in someone who is going to be sitting in front of you for a prolonged period of time. She's mindful that its your time, but also friendly, so that you're able to chat with her easily as the design is being made. I seriously recommend her just for this point only - the mood she puts you in and the vibes that come from her are a great way to start your wedding (or any special day/event). Apologies for the long post but she deserves it!

I kept seeing amazing reviews about Reena, so I called her and she was able to fit me in later that afternoon. She is incredibly sweet and really took the time to analyze my eyebrows -- where I was missing growth, what shape was realistic for my face, and how to get me there over time. She even intentionally left some hairs so they could grow in more before shaping them in future visits. You can tell she's a true artist and actually cares about long-term results, which I really appreciated. I'll definitely be coming back. I will say she's a little on the pricier side for eyebrow threading, but that may just be the going rate in San Diego.

Her attention to detail, ability to listen to what the bride/client wants, and high quality products make the finishing look glamorous. I loved how she did my wedding day make up. It was exactly what I wanted! The day after my wedding, my skin was in perfect condition as if I never had any make up on! I feel like that's a big testament to the products she uses. Additionally, her henna work is stunning!!! An artistic hand that is pure talent and skill. On top of that, talking to her felt like I've known her for years because she is so pleasant and caring. Anytime I had questions, I would message her and she would immediately respond. What makes her stand out is how passionate she is about her work and how that shows in her finishing touches. Highly highly recommend her!
